I wanted to post some recorded tracks of my Hiwatt amps. I wanted to do this earlier, but my ProTools software likes to interrupt my recording sessions to prompt me with error messages about my computer being inadequate :oops:

First track is my butchering of the solo from 'Aqualung' with extra growl, no beat, and a few mistakes :oops: but the GROWL is great!!!!
Here's the link to SoundClick: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single ... 63461&q=hi

Amp: 1974 Hiwatt DR103 with VHR caps, vintage mullard pre-amp tubes, and old stock Svetlana EL34s.

Speakers: 1976 Hiwatt Fane model # 122231

Guitar: my cheap Epiphone Les Paul that I upgraded with new guts: CTS pots, shielded wires, Hovland tone caps, Seymour Duncan pickups, Switchcraft jack, new switch, etc.

Pedals: MI Audio Tube Zone > ABY splitter > A > DR103 'Brill' channel & B > Dr. Scientist Red Rad Reverberator reverb pedal > DR103 'Normal'

The Tube Zone helps give me the best controlled feedback and sustain.

Microphone: Sennheiser e906

I will post more tracks soon.... Enjoy

That Epi LP is a keeper. As is the Tube Zone pedal. Nice sustain. She's right on the edge of running away. That can be a fun place to be :) .
